Took the shuttle bus from the hotel, and then we were ready to fly with Copa Airlines, the last piece of the trip to Quito - a short flight of 1 ½ hours .
It was a really nice approach into Quito Airport (UIO). Quito lies in a valley in the Andes Mountains at an altitude of 2,800 m.

It was quick to get through immigration and customs and at exit we met a representative from VIP Link, which had arranged for transportation from the airport to the JW Marriott Quito hotel (picture).

JW Marriott Quito
After an hour we were approaching the JW Marriott Quito Hotel.
We've got a room on the 7 floor with sweeping views of Quito City and the encircling mountains (picture).
We staid at the hotel during the afternoon and got a nice dinner at one of the three restaurants at the hotel.
